Alarms

When the detector goes into alarm, it flashes, vibrates, and produces a loud siren noise. Depending on the type of alarm, these flashes, vibrations, and noises will be different.

NOTE: In Stealth mode the Honeywell BW^TM Ultra only vibrates

IMPORTANT: Regardless, when a detector goes into alarm, always take appropriate action. Never ignore or dismiss an alarm.
